Glacier carved river valleys are the norm here.
Fortunately, an enterprising group build the White Pass - Yukon railway, mostly complete in 1899 and the last spike in place in Whitehorse, Yukon in 1900.
It's a narrow gauge railway for reasons of cost and design (it can take narrower curves as a result). A marvel of civil engineering. This is the model of the route at the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park Museum in Skagway.
